Since November 1927, Thanksgiving has become synonymous with the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. A grand procession of Macy’s workers, fairytale-looking floats, balloons, clowns, zoo animals and animated characters that snakes its way across NY City’s Upper West Side, the parade heads in the direction of the trademark store on Manhattan’s 34^th St. while the nation watches in delight.
